Cancer Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Classic Rock Showdown: "Roundabout" by Yes vs. "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues The historical and obvious answer is the correct one: Roundabout early in the dance, Nights at the end.

Tech priest support Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Not a fan of the matrix as I found it extremely and offensively racist but i will pick the Lobby scene since it was used to explain the new turn sequence system. In EABA 2. The scene was gone thru move by move shot by shot to explain how you could run an action scene in EABA 2 using its expanding turn scale system. Speaking of the matrix, which of these movies that had similar themes to the matrix but were better was the best one: Dark city or They live? Oh, some people think dark city was a rip off f the matrix. It was released a year earlier and the matrix used a rooftop set from dark city.

Tech priest support Posted September 12, 2017 Report Share Posted September 12, 2017 Are you kidding? That's not even a challenge. Escape from L. A. sucked bigly. Since you reminded me of a john carpenter. Movie.... Alien vs The Thing. (Better movie. Not monster fight. You can do that if you want.)

Blue Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I think the monster fight already took place (Hard to find a fight here that hasn't). As for the movie fight... Alien. Both are awesome but Alien is truly a work of art. 8-Track Tapes vs 72rpm records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tech priest support Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 I prefer me not watching the Matrix I actually liked one thing in the matrix: Agent Smith's diatribe against humanity to Morpheus. I thought that was a very plausible view of humanity from an AI. Everything else sucked. Plus the racism was so blatant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted September 13, 2017 Report Share Posted September 13, 2017 8-Track Tapes vs 72rpm records I actually owned records, 78 RPM, at an early age (and 33's and 45's at less early ages), though 78s I think were all but extinct by 1962 and those I had were old second-hand castoffs. By contrast, while I owned both reel-to-reel and cassette tapes, I never owned an 8-track. I did have a friend with one, and was appalled that some of his 8-track tapes had the track-switch in the middle of a song. Major suckage, that. So I vote for 78s.

I have to respectfully disagree with you about the kingpin. He actually has a few traces of redeeming qualities. 1. He is something of an American patriot on his own view. 2. He really hates nazis. 3. He beat the red skull's nazi ass and kicked it out of new your city.
